On that previous ROM page from the link I provided, he mentions not being able to complete the process without engineering the HBOOT..??
Switch #1 and #2
You've got to have root before ANYthing else.
Simple root *should* give you full root access (unlocked nand) and from there you can flash whitslacks ROM to get the OTA update.
After Simple root verify your hboot version like whitslack says, boot into bootloader if you have .76.2 hboot then your nand unlocked and golden. If after Simple root you have .79 hboot you are only partially rooted.
You can do Toast Part II like whitslack says (Steps listed here too) to get your nand unlocked after Simple root-but like I said-Simple root is supposed to do EVERYthing for you.
